THE BOOK EGENT WAR.

The irrepreSsible book agent has his
uses notwithstanding his weariSome
qualities. His present use is in sowing
dissension in the Republican party in
this state. Last winter, when the Re-
publican legislature undertook to merge
the temperance element into the Repub-
lican organization by the processes of
temperance legislation, among other
bills that were passed was one provid-
ing for course of temperance inStruc-
lions in the public schools. 1t was
coupled on to the hygienic course in
spcil way as to receive popular APP
proval. The idea was unquestionably
the most practical one in the way of
temperance reform that had yet been
suggested, and if carried out in the
proper spirit would be beneficial. But
the experiment has struck Snag right
in the beginning which threatens de-
struction. And it is all brought about
by the rivalry of book agents, who in
their eagerneSs to secure sales for their
respective publications have kicked up
such row between the temperance
folks and the Republican bosses as to
threaten permanent rupture. The
WOman'S Temperance union is all Or
ganiZatiOn composed OF earnest women
with whom temperance is a religious
principle and who are alive with the fire
of enthusiasm. The organization.
through its representatives labored
hard to secure the passage of the law in
question. They believe that temperance
means total abstinence, and they want
it taught in that way. The Republican
bosses, who are temperance. advocates
for political purposes only, do not be-
lieve that the temperance cause is to be
damaged seriously by person taking
''wee nippy" now and then. At least that
is the way most of them practice temper
ance principles, and they want temper
ance taught as they practice it. And
right here comes the conflict. The agent
OF one series Of books which teaches the
total abstinence doctrine readily discov-
cred THAT his strong point was to work
the Women's Temperance union into
becoming the partisan of his publica-
ton. The agent for the other series
who has probably had more experience
in such matters, pinned his chances of
success to the coat tail of the school
officials. And now the war is on. 1t is
bitter fight in which all sorts of invec-
tives are hurled at each other by the op-
posing forces. Charges and counter
charges of corruption are being made,
accusations Of falseh0od and the retort,
''you are another" follow in quick sue
cessiOn, and such monkey and parrot
time generally has not been seen for a
long time. Of course it is all disgrace
full to the state and damaging to the
cause of education, but such things are
the legitimate result of the continuation
| of ring rule in Minnesota.

Dakota's New Governor.

Omana Herald.
Gov. Church of Dakota, about whose
appointment considerable censure has
been passed on the score that he is "a
tenderfoot," is making a record. He is
keeping up his end of the Democratic
administration, and treating Dakota
people to a reform, which the abuses he
is unearthing show has long been need
ed. The body polite of Dakota has be-
come encruSted with b..rnacles, and in
Scraping them off he has shown that
they have been cankers as well. The
management OF the asylum for the in
sane at Yanl1ton has been investigated.
and very fraudulent state of affairs
has been discovered, which has obtain
ed SO long that the ASYLUM instead of
being charitable institution, has be-
come the source from which many have
corruptly enriched themselves, and
that, too, i'll the face of the sufferings of
the inmates which their greed enforced
by depriving the poor lunaties of the com
forts and accommodations to which thew
were entitled. Gov Church is doing
good work, and though "a tenderfoot,o

he puts down his foot, he puts it down
hard.

GETTYSBURG VETERANS.

The white winged dove of peace has
surely found permanent resting place
in our land. The survivors of the old
Philadelphia brigade which met and re-
pulsed PICKETT's charge on Cemetery
Hill in the Gettysburg battle have ex-
tended an invitation to the survivors of
PICKETT's command to meet them in
fraternal reunion on the very ground
where they met in the deadly struggle
twenty-fOur years ago. The invitation
has been accepted. the Sd or July has
been fixed as the day Of meeting and
camp will be established at the spot
where ARaiIsTEAD fell. which was the
furthest advance point gained by the
ConfederateS in that memorable
charge. As these silver-haired veter-
ans of two armies now meet in social
reunion to talk their long-ago battle over
they will meet as citizens of one country
and under one flag. Once foes, now
brothers ana fellow countrymen. The
only rivalry in the future between them
Will be in defending that star-spangled
banner which waved in victory over

An Incentive to Greatness.

Arkansaw Traveller
1T is socially dangerous to express
such an opinion" said an old man. but
did you ever notice that the most sue
cessful men in nearly all departments

Il have noticed that great many of
them are" some one replied, ''but that
is no argument in favor of intemper-
ance."
''Oh, no, but upon the contrary, it is
an argument in favor of reformation"
but unless man has been a drunk
ard how can he reform?"
1--WE won't go into an argument of the
finer points of the case. / make the as
sertlon that the most successful men in
business, law and literature, are re-
formed drunkards. 1t seems that when
a man drinks until he becomes thor
Oughly convinced that unless he changes
his course he will never amount to any
thing. he is moved by a power which
sober men never feel. and that he calls
to his aid an ability which men who
have always been temperate cannot
summon. He has to build up his char
acter and business at the same time;
and, building up one, seems to help the
other. Now there was Horace Gree

In Egypt the custom long prevailed
of swearing by the goose.
The ancient Germans swore by their
gods, by their swords and by their birds.
The ScandinavianS. besides appealing
to their gods, touched bloody ring in

In some parts of China witness is
sworn upon saucer, which is broken

The HindOo swears by the ''Veda,"
the sacred book of his religion. In like
manner the Mohammedan is sworn on
the Koran"
In Madagascar the people swear either
by their sovereign or by their mothers,
and there are two forms of witnessing
the oath, one to ''strike the water" and
the other to spear the calf.'
The legislature of Quebec is consider
ing bill, which, if it becomes a law.
will require every court to provide it
self with an official crucifix to swear

New York, June 1.-THE man who
married Thomas Brady's wife in Bridge
port, Conn, and ran off with her, leav-
ing him with six children Oh his hands,
has been arrested. The police discov-
cred him to be John ID. Ludwig, keeper
of Penfield Reef lighthouse, a few miles
out in Long Island Sound, off Black
Rock harbor. The clipping couple left
note that they were going to farm in
Minnesota, but instead Ludwig took the
woman to his lonely lighthouse home,
hoping to escape detection. The
structure is completely surrounded
by water, and few people ever visit
1T. A fishing vessel in distress was the
means of discovery. The officers who
went out to make the arrest had arough
passage. The waves butfeted their boat
among the huge rocks, and a landing
was made in great peril. Ludwig was
found, but not the woman. He was ar
rested and locked up. Mrs. Brady was
found on shore at Blackjack, visiting
relatives. She was also arrested. Brady
received letter this morning, stating
that his wife had applied for divorce.
1t was dated after the marriage with
Ludwig. The youngest babe of six left
by Mrs. Brady is being cared for by the
neighbOrS.

DONNELLy,s CIPHER.

lGNATIUS DONNELLY, III the North
American Review for June, gives fore
taSe of the literary feast he is prepar-
ing to spread before the world. The
arguments he advances in behalf of the
theory that BACON was the author of
the plays commonly attributed to
SHAKESPEARE, are certainly curious and
interesting. They possess, too, suffi-
Gent FEASIBILITY to warrant eager
curiosity regarding the complete de-
velopment of the cipher theory as it
will be set forth in MI. DoNNELLY's
book.
AS the distinguished Minnesotian
shows in his magazine article, the theory
that to BACON is due the authorship of
the SHAKESPEEIAN plays is not new
one. 1t has been discussed by many
prominent writer's, and there is. in fact.
complete and extensive literature of
the subject. Mr.. DoNNELI.Y has simply
approached the problem in different
way, and gives solution which is as
novel as it is interesting.
1t has rarely been the good fortune
of an author to he able to count upon as
large circle of readers as that which
awaits Mr.DoNNELLY's publication, and
whether he succeeds in convincing the
world Of the truth of his theory or not,
there can be no doubt but that the work
will be we'll worthy pcrusal and a credit
to its author. In literature Nh. Don
NELLY has already made all enviable
reputation and should he win fresh
laurels by solving the problem that las
for nearly POO years bothered wise and
learned men, he will find that the whole
state will be unanimous i'll its praise of
his literary efforts.

The Chicago RoodIers.

CHICAGO, June THE states half
of the first boodler conspiracy trial is
drawing to close. Tomorrow the
prosecution will present their last wit
nesses, and the case will be given to
the defense. To-day was field day for
the state. The evidence adduced went
strongly to show general conspiracy
against Cook county and its pocketbook,
but proved nothing so far as the partic-
ular indictments are concerned on
which the present trial is based. I'm
less the prosecution have surprise in
store for tomorrow the hope of con-
viction in this case rests mainly ON the
chances that the jurors have been con-
WINGED on general principles that the
defendants Mcdonald and McGarigle
are guilty. The testimony to-day bears
most heavily on McGarigle.

murder. When on their way home from
school the two boys met an aged Italian,
Louis Maskropetro, at the corner of
Grand and Mott streets. William

Type of the best we possess that is womanly,
Yours is the nature that all of us prize;
Partisan rancor flows gently and humanity,
Charmed by glance of your eloquent

Peace be about you and blessings abound
Even tue highest that woman may know.
Love that is truest and dearest be found with

Guarding you kindly wherever you gol
Still may you cling to your sweet dcmesticity,
Cherishing warmly your home and its ties;
Thus shall you compass the rarest felicity,
Better than all that ambition supplies.

per annum, but neglected so to do for
the time specified, although it had been
paid previously. The case is still on.

hamlet almost unknown. To-day it is
growing with a rapidity Characteristic
Of Western boom towns, is an important
manufacturing and railroad point, and
cannot even guess at this time when

What has caused this marvellous

the sleepy village and metamorphosed
